Four times the fun!
Tetrishas had a resurgence of late with the enchantingly beautifulTetris Effectand the battle royaleTetris 99. Although they have wildly divergent approaches, their goal is the same: An enhancement ofTetrisby building on its existing foundation.
Schwerkraftprojektionsgerätfollows that same model, but amplifies it by four. This German-named game from the creator ofStephen’s Sausage Roll(which is an absolutely excellent puzzle game) has you playing four simultaneousTetrisboards. The catch is that they’re all rotated 90 degrees from one another, and each piece you drop is played in the same position on all boards.
It’s probably easier to wrap your head around it by just seeing it in action:

Here’s the problem: InSchwerkraftprojektionsgerätthere is no perfect move. Every move feels like a concession of sorts — possibly ideal for one or two boards, but at the cost of creating more problems on the other boards. It’s perplexing and cruel. At leastSchwerkraftprojektionsgerätshows a little mercy in that the blocks don’t fall and there’s no timer; you can mull over the next move for as long as you want.
It won’t do a ton of good. Clearing out more than a couple lines is a monumental task. It’s just too hard to make the right sacrifices to keep a game going.Schwerkraftprojektionsgerättrades in frustration and dissatisfaction. It wants you to hate your decisions, knowing you’re inching ever-closer to doom rather than any sort of victory.
